What's next?

In this post I will attempt to answer the question "What's next?" in terms of policy priorities for each party.  Let's suppose for each party that the each have an opportunity to pass their current respective legislative priorities without any barrier from any legislative branch.  For Democrats that would probably include the following:
1.  Immigration reform.
2.  Cap and Trade.
3.  Dream Act.
4.  Gun Control-Assault weapons ban, universal background check.
5.  Stimulus spending.
6.  Student loan reform.
7.  Repeal Citizens United or passage of Disclose Act.
8.  Return to Clinton era tax rates.

For Republicans it would probably include:
1. Repeal of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
2. Cut individual income and corporate taxes.
3. Increase Border Security.
4. Limit availability of abortions.
5.  Reform Social Security and Medicare.
6.  Approval of Keystone XL Pipeline.

The interesting questions is "What's next?"

Democrats
1.  Interest free loans for all college students.
2.  Fairness Doctrine.
3.  Living wage.
4.  Single Payer Health Care.
5.  Universal High Speed Internet.
6.  More Tax Fairness.

1.  Privatize social security.
2.  Tort Reform
3. Flat Tax
